Please bring all submissions to Mr. Spooner.

Attention all track athletes. Coach Eckard is still in need of 5-7 athletes to help work concessions at this Friday’s home football game. The sign-up sheet is outside of room 801. Coach will pay you $25.00 towards your pay to play if you work this night.

Your soccer lady cougars traveled to Hilliard Davidson yesterday, and, after a rain delay, gave their full effort until the last minute ticked off the clock.

In comparison to last season, Davidson score decreased significantly, once again proving that your lady cougar soccer is improving and moving in the right direction.

Looking forward, we take on Whitehall-Yearling at home this Saturday for our senior day. Please come support our team and cheer us on to victory, Saturday at 12pm.

Thursday night, the boys’ soccer team will be playing their last home game of the year. Prior to the game, we will be having our senior night for our 9 seniors. Come out and help us celebrate the playing careers of Axel Rodriguez, Carmelo Marian, Mesiah Bawi, Dalmar Ali, Jaun Martinez, Landen Bruna, Thawng Hue, Jaime Martinez, and Abdi Suleiman. We hope to see a large student section to not only cheer on our seniors but cheer on the team as we look to end the year on a positive note!
